Is it possible to see every mod that is missing for a save file?

Recently I lost a lot of data form my hard drive including all my installed mods. My save files were spared (thank god) and now I'm trying to retrace which mods I had installed. Is it possible to see all mods that were used in a specific save file?

At first you could look whether your old "C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Fallout4\plugins.txt" still exists and is not overwritten. If so, it contains a list of your mods. Otherwise you could try to start the game and load your last save that bases on all the mods. You get a message about missing content. This is also a list ot the missing mods. Maybe the "Fallrim Tools" here on nexus can list the baked in mods of a savegame, too. In any case you get only the name of the ems, esp or esl files. Sometimes the mod is called different and it is still a lot of searching necessary.

The only issue you will have is you also need to know what other non-plugin mods you were using.

i.e. Texture replacers, F4SE mods (most of them), User Interface mods (like FallUI) - these "mods" don't use plugins - they wouldn't show up even if you had your Plugins.TXT file.   

You also need to recreate the custom settings you might have been using with some mods as well - and those won't show either.

Hope you weren't using merged mods (which would need to be recreated - or installed from an archive you might have kept).

If you have a small list, maybe.    If you are rocking a gigantic list with a lot of customization - you got your work cut out for you.
